Neil Young recently announced the release of Hitchhiker, an album recorded in 1976. Before it comes out next week on Reprise, you can hear the record today via NPR. Hitchhiker collects solo acoustic songs that Young recorded live in one day in Malibu, several of which later appeared on albums like Comes a Time and Rust Never Sleeps. The original recordings were produced by Young’s long-time collaborator David Briggs; John Hanlon contributed post-production to the new release. Listen to the full record—including the previously unreleased “Hawaii” and “Give Me Strength”—below.
